Please inform the church office if you or a loved one are admitted into a hospital, so we may be there for you & your family.

For submission to prayer list contact any staff, submit via web,

or e-mail prayerchain@fccmidland.org

Special Notes:

Prayer list names are renewed every three weeks as we seek to

keep the list as current as

possible and allow space for new

requests. Our joys, concerns and deepest needs are already on

God’s heart long before we put

them to paper.

…for your Father knows what

you need before you ask him.

Matthew 6:8
